SHREWSBURY FIRE STATION

A £4m project to remodel and extend Shrewsbury Fire Station, to house the headquarters of Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service.

The project was to transform and re-invent the existing Fire Station.

The first phase of the project was to extend and upgrade the vehicle maintenance workshops to provide modern repair and office facilities. This building was used as the temporary fire station whilst the second phase was in progress.

The second phase was to extend and remodel the existing roadside fire station block, to house the headquarters, command and control function of the service, as well as an upgraded fire station.

Lastly the existing HQ building was demolished to provide extended parking on the site.

The range of functions to be located in the HQ building was subject to constant review and change during the construction period, and the plans were required to remain fluid right up until completion.
